Limited Recall of Propofol
A Limited Recall of Propofol has been launched. A maker of the potent anesthetic propofol, that was found in Michael Jackson’s home, at the time of his death…has been contacted by federal officials investigating the King of Pop star’s death.
The Limited Recall of Propofol as affected tens of thousands of vials of the drug. Two tainted lots of Propofol, has made dozens of patients ill.
The drug company was quick to come forward and state, “There is no apparent connection between the bacterial contamination that prompted the recall and Jackson’s death on June 25th, 2009. The tracking number on the tainted lots was different from the number on a vial that the Drug Enforcement Administration investigators told the company was found at Jackson’s home.”
No, that drug maker was cleared for harmful bacteria, but not for being the drug that possibly killed Michael Jackson.

I have never heard of this drug before and I have had surgery so I guess that is what they used on me but it sounds so dangerous in the hands that doesn’t know how to use it and that is a fact.
There was one surgery that I had that I didn’t wake up right away and all I heard is why doesn’t she wake up? I answered that question with a question didn’t you put me to sleep? And they said “yes” well I took advantage of the situation and slept as long as I could.
